by Sophia Sandrelli Blondes have more fun and certainly many women would love a set of long, golden locks. However, blonde hair can sometimes be the most difficult of all hair colors to care for. For every beautiful head of blonde hair you see there will be three fair haired females who could do with some serious follicle fixing. But when it's done right, there is nothing to beat blonde. Check out these celebrities who have definitely got it right...
Getting this kind of style may look hard but with a little care and attention your blonde locks will look just as good. Sun protection Blonde hair more than any other colour is susceptible to damage from the sun. Dry, frizzy and tired is what your hair will become if you subject it to the harmful rays of the sun for too long. The majority of blonde haired women have fair skin and therefore take great care to protect themselves from the damaging UV light the sun produces. However, almost all of them forget about their scalp. Our hair doesn't provide nearly enough protection for our heads. Now obviously, you can't slap sun cream all over your head but you can wear a hat when the sun is at it's strongest and you can make sure you probably cleanse your hair and scalp when you get home. Adding colour There are seemingly hundreds of points to remember when you are going blonde or adding highlights. Ideally you should visit a good salon for expert advice and treatment. However, if you want to do it yourself you should follow these rules: - don't wash your hair immediately before you add colour because you'll strip away the natural oils that will keep your hair hydrated during the colouring process - always perform a test on a small patch of your hair at least 24 hours prior to a full colour application - unless you are 100% confident, always stick to colours that are no more than two shades lighter or darker than your natural hair colour. - always read the packet carefully as some products should be applied differently to others - always use the most gentle product you can find to limit damage caused through the chemicals present in dye - use a deep treatment to help your hair stay hydrated between colourings - but don't use heavy conditioners and oil treatments as they can lift the colour - if you are unhappy with what you've done, go to a salon to have it corrected. Don't try to fix it yourself or you could make it considerably worse. |
